WTH??? Spillane fined for GL hit on Henry??

[Ike Kelly]

From Lolley at DKSPORTS, Spilly got fined for that Oklahoma drill tackle on Derrick Henry. As Coach Lombardi said..”What the hell is going on here?!!!”

Steelers, Ravens both barely over .500 the week after playing each other. https://www.dkpittsburghsports.com/...mike-tomlin-ravens-letdown-update-fdl-ajs-dwm

“MORE STEELERS

• According to a league source, the NFL fined Steelers linebacker Robert Spillane $4,000 for his goal-line hit on Titans running back Derrick Henry in Week 7 that stopped Henry short of reaching the end zone for lowering his helmet on contact. Spillane is appealing the fine. Spillane makes $39,705 per week during the regular season, so a $4,000 fine is not insignificant. It works out to a little more than 10 percent of his paycheck for that game, even more after taxes are deducted. Spillane has appealed the ruling. -- Lolley”

This has as much sense as a comment from of Coach.

So was it for hitting too hard or hurting the Titans feelings?

Silverback is Spillane's 'pin pal' (old channel 4, nick perry reference) .... he gets fined 4k also.

I just cant get past the 40k per week and he is certainly not a high payroll guy

 

[mightyguru]

So ******* stupid. He had to come of the field because he smashed henry with his left shoulder...not his head...and two ******* weeks later ffs.

 

[Coach]

I thought if the running back lowers his head in between the tackles, there is no flag on a helmet to helmet hit. To be fined nearly 2 weeks after the game stinks.

Looks like a clear cut case of hitting hard while wearing the black and gold... lucky he didn’t get a lifetime ban

 

[Shane Falco]

So...now he can’t tackle a runner and protect his head as well?

 

[GILBERT]

Yet NFL network has it listed as one of the best plays of the year.

 

[Super Dave]

I am not seeing this anywhere else but Reddit.....and they are referencing SN.

Worst part is this should have came out last Thu, not this Thu...

Is this a joke?? Please tell me this is some bullshit that some assbag on twitter drummed up to get reactions. There's absolutely no way that play should be fined

It hasn't showed up yet on this "fines" tracker so I'm still a little curious if true or not.


EDIT: It shows Bostic for helmet to helmet WEEK 7. Didn't we play the **** week 6 ?


Salute the nation

 

[Ike Kelly]

If he’s appealed it, that may be why it hasn’t been officially listed.

Whomever the league had at our game had a field day on fines for the Steelers.
